Bubble Bobble 250 dpi arcade side art

After "GIMP" crashing time after time because of the image size, I've finally put together a side art image for the Koenig Arcade Cabinet using the files I found earlier.

My machine couldn't handle the image at 300 dpi so this one is 250 dpi

PNG Format (50.5MB)
Adobe PSD Format (95MB)

Bubble Bobble 300 dpi Bezel

The last of the eBay auctions ends in an hour or so after a week of non payers, late payers and relisting.

After eBay fees, postage etc etc it's looking like the budger is £160, so no kit from Rich's Bartop Arcades or the Retro Pit, looks like it's the DIY route  :-S

As it looks like I'll be using the Koenig plans I've been trying to find Bubble Bobble artwork which will fit.  I was unsuccessful but found some artwork for a Bartop sized cabinet @ http://zonaarcade.forumcommunity.net/?t=45266890 - The actual side art etc were only 150 dpi which may look blocky when printed, luckily the downloaded included .PSD files which included each element at a higher resolution as seperate files so I decided to use these to recreate the art for the Koenig cabinet in 300dpi.   



So far I've created a 300dpi bezel which can be downloaded in Photoshop PSD, PNG and GIMP XCF formats;

Plenty of work ahead to re-work the other art.

Messing around with graphics takes my mind off the fact there is some serious wood work ahead :-(

VewSonic VP201s 20" LCD monitor

So, the £16 20" LCD Monitor arrived, here are some pics in case anyone out there is looking for a decent size LCD at 4:3 aspect ratio;

Unboxing




Testing (Playing!)

Picture from SNES emulator looks a bit rough as you'd expect being scaled up, looks better when the scanline effect is added.
